HemaApp Tests Blood with no Needles

The HemaApp works with a smartphone to quickly and accurately scan blood for anemia with no need to take an actual sample. Once the user places their finger on the phone’s LED light, the app will trigger the light to shine through their finger as the camera identifies the level of hemoglobin in the blood based on its color. In tests, the HemaApp showed 82 percent accuracy, which is the same accuracy as those of the purpose-built devices currently on the market.
